Great reply TheGrimm, Game us a direction to move toward.
What are two of the easiest WvW War Room Missions I should buy?
Just bring back GW1 New Year. that was a very fun celebration. plus we got masks Ooooo
I want more masks like GW 1 had for winters-day and Mad King too please
Mission Slot PVE: How hard are these? We only have 3 players in the guild. Can we do these?
War Room Missions:
Again with only 3 (maybe 4 players) which are the best to do for a small group?
PVP Slot:
Who do you play? Inter- Guild? If not can we pick a particular guild to battle?
What good is becoming a scribe? I see that it is crafting, but why would I want to buy that?
thanks
Great idea. To bad people don’t read before they post
Ha! Called this feature ages ago.
Just never believed it would cost as much as another game! =:o
Bring gliding into the core game.
FIX IS***
Use Down Drafts to stop areas that Anet does not want us to get to with out jumping or climbing.
I got my shoulder piece and love it.
But… I have to say that I hated every second doing bells for five hours every night. it was a horrible experience. This is not the type of game i want to play.
Anet FAILED WIntersday
It is a mix between technical and server space. You see banks need to grow in block. That said servers need to save the same space for max slots weather you have them or not.
So if everyone had max then most likely Anet would add more bank slots.
They are all fun really. Pick what you like and just enjoy the game.
Used to play WvWv every night, now I only played it once since hot. Not really liking it.
that said I am not in HOT either. I really dislike hot with the forced group game play.
Even worst is how Anet lied to us saying small guilds will not be over looked. we have a 3-4 person guild that played every night since early GW1 and can not see a way to get the arena for our hall. *sigh
So no changes then huh? Well that sucks! I’m on a serious withdrawal on mmos since leaving. I can’t find one I like
Wildstar’s Christmas event is sooo much more fun than Farm Wars 2. And Star Trek online has some super nice skins that are easy to get with “fun” events
+1
“In relative terms, it -should- in theory be almost as easy to complete the wintersday drinks achievement as the one for eating candy canes.”
Whey doe Anet thing we do not work or have a life? Starting to HATE Guild Wars 2.
Most MMO’g give the players a present for this time of year and a thank you.
I am floundering trying to get karma to buy presents for the soulder piece. I am wasting time attempting the jump puzzle I tried 90 min one day and 30 the next till i finally gave up. So I am trying to do it with Bells. I have a banner and food but just not getting enough. I am also do PVP daily am just starting to HATE Guild Wars 2 and will need a break after this is over.
My question is should I keep doing bells or does the Donation Drive Orphan’s really help? It looks like a lot of wasted time running around. Is it better than just bells?
Thanks
Other MMORPG’s give away a cool gift for Christmas. It is really nice since thouse that have a life are way to busy to spend a full time job to get just a skin.
Look this is not a per-cursor, or legendary weapon it is a skin. Although a very nice skin. Why did Anet do this at such a busy time of year? You would think they would want to say, “Hey thanks guys for supporting us and here is a little something back to you.”
I can not guess why they made such a time intensive skin at such a busy time, and time gate it in a way it is effective. No more booze will be available so they year is a token to shut people up.
I am VERY disappointed in the direction Anet is taking, and their lack of response to the community. I am not saying to make just give it away,m but why not make it reasonable and maybe fun too?
Note: This is the point at which the thread was merged, to give greatest value to the devs in their review of your input. Please feel free to continue to offer your feedback, and thank you.
Gaile has time to post this which done not help us at all. But has not answered any of the real questions since day one of her original post.
Copied from other post
1 Will the shoulder be able to be gotten after winters day?
2 Will there be other ways to get drinks like crafting? As buying will go out of sight as the supply runs out.
3 Will next year drop drinks to get the shoulder?
Pre Purchase they said small guild would not be left out.
They lied…..
Even so, what harm would it be for them to extend Wintersday by a week or two?
Might turn the Anets WINTER sneer into Winter cheer!
I hope that Anet thinks that the 10,000 drinks was a mistake to get the snow shoulder piece. So I have a suggestion that I think is fare.
What if they added a crafting element to get larger lots of ACCOUNT BOUND drinks. That way it can not be spammed for gold and it might relieve the stress dung a very busy holiday.
Also might want to add crafting candy canes for those that need that too.
Happy Holidays all
Honestly hotcarl, get the way points. That is not an unreasonable request.
Also there is a warning. Once the dragon timer goes off you need to have a four pre-enents done she come up. And it posts the event on the map.
We do Karka queen most every day and I do not think I missed it in the past 700 + attempts.
Advice: Get the points, be aware of the timer and pre event, and kill the Karka Queen. Most of all have fun.
I get suck doing the disintegrating presents stack after the snow flake jumping. Any suggestions?
I get up to the stack and make the first jump just as they appear and just fail. they either disappear or I fall off.
Suggestions?
Yes add the holographic wing sets, and other wings too
That’s the main reason why I stay away from any time sensitive MMORPG holiday events. IMHO it’s an expensive time sink.
then try Wildstar to Star Trek Online both have wonderful fun holiday events. Wildstart just gives away fun stuff and you can not beat Star Trek Online for the Crazy fun summer event with bikini swim suit skins and jet powered water races…. STO’s winter event is fun too with stopping the evading snowman with great winter jackets and top rated ships which are easy to get.
Would be nice to have a nice fun little event and end up with a cool ( no pun intened) shoulder piece as a parting gift.
The drinking element makes this impossible, and not very festive at all with the grind.
I have both and use them both proudly
I want a whip. NPC’s have them
Does this mean we will still be able to get Winters Presence after wintersday? or is only the (Festive Imbibier) achievement still available? I really don’t care for the achievement I just want Winters Presence Skin…
I will ask to be certain I give you the best answer. Thanks for the question.
It still makes little difference if there is no way to earn or craft the booze. Why does Anet not see that 10,000 is a ridiculous number.
No holiday spirit for this skin for sure.
Someone was posted that the original topic did not rhyme, so….
Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas
Twas the nightmare before Christmas and all though the land
Anet has laughed at their plot, and gleamed at their scam.
The shoulders did sparkle, the item quite merry.
But the gift is a trap be watchful. Be wary!
“The task is quite simple don’t worry,” they say
“The following year is the new Winter’s Presence day.”
“Though with no way to collect them or farm them,” I cry,
“The year will not help us as price soar sky high.”
“It’s fun, it’s merry,” Anet says with a grin.
“We spread seasons cheer, so all of you win.”
The gold to buy will break us, and farming will fail.
This was a horrible joke, as the Grinch now prevails.

But it is hard to play with people. I have played with two friends since GW1 started and now we are FORCED in to large groups, FORCED to do certain activities, FORCED to leave out small guild.
GW2 has lost its heart.
She shoulder piece is a joke. Anet should be ashamed for such a nearly impossible item for a Christmas gift. gift?
Did Ebenezer Scrooge get a job at Anet?
The Winter’s Presence is a horrible Collection thanks to the 10,000 Festive Imbiber portion. Even with the extension there is no way to “earn” the drinks throughout the year, and the high price will only go up.
This is the worst holiday event ever! Games are supposed to be fun, and you would think Anet would want a holiday event centered around good will and joy. Winter’s Presence bring neither to us players.
Check out Wildstar and Star Trek on line for GREAT Christmas events and rewards.

Anet the 10,000 Imbiber is horrible joke to play on us players.
Worst yet it the post Gale added saying (with no qualification)
“We will be leaving the Festive Imbiber achievement active throughout the year.”
*So how will we get drinks if there is no way to earn them?
*No way to craft them
*At the current price the drinks are already 750 gold to buy! And will only go up.
This is the worst holiday event I have ever play on any game. Thanks Anet for giving us coal in all of our stockings .

So if this thread is even remotely correct, Anet has found a fare way to keep most people from getting a Legendary?
Say I want to start the process for crafting 3 Precursor weapons. Can I talk to Hobbs in Lions Arch with any character to get the process started? Or does it have to be with the character that I want to own the Precursor.
In other words can I buy the volumes with any character to start the collection.
Daredevil has better dps than thief, but I like it for the mobility.
This video isn’t me. Just to show how fun it is.

Awesome video Redfeather!
Build link?
You can turn of helmets. So anet why not gloves and the shoulders? Especially for 2000 gems??
I hate how asymmetrical they look.
I guess the real answer is to not buy this stuff
Very interest in hearing why you like the Tempest, Druid and Daredevil.
Does the Daredevil kill as quick as the pistol dagger thief?
Why do you like the Tempest? Is you build Berserker?
So why the silence about taking away human female animations, Super Adventure Box, Etc
The silence is defining,
I am not here to talk about how much of a rip off the outfits cost, but after buying them they still do not function.
I wrote to Anet the day the Bandit Sniper’s Outfit came out and you still cannot turn off the shoulders or the gloves! Come on guys this was 2000 gems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please fix it.
Star Trek Online has a VERY fun summer festival. You can get swimsuits, power board race, and do a lot of beach activities. I would love to see swimsuits and have a summer party on Southsun Cove!
Just some fun relaxing events not the tiresome epic ones that NEED groups to play.
But YES to swimsuits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I do thanks
My mistake the title is changed now. So what are soem of the best new Elite specializations and why?
(edited by Angelica Dream.7103)
Not the best actually but one that plays relaly well and is MUCH better than the standard avatar.
I an playing all the classes, and looking into making a Legendary. Since the addition of the Celestial Avatar It kind of changes the game.
I like my Ranger so is the Druid worth all the work? Love my thief, and getting the hang or the Reverent. I am on my necro a lot and how does the ele play?
Again this is more for PVE and WVW.
Thanks for your list of what is the best Celestial Avatar and why.
I just wish GW2 did some player housing. Wildstar did it.
Wildstar housing is amazing! it is what I was hoping Guild Halls were going to be plus the arena. Sadly I will never see the arena since GW2 is so hooked into big guilds or go home philosophy.
How would you rate the HoT Fun Factor?
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

3 for small guilds
Wish we never bought HOT (Small Guild)

Yes the path to claim the guild hall
We only have 4 playing tonight. Will ask in map chat and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion.

We have a small guild 4 Players (6 on extremely rare occasion) that have been together since GW1. We play every night. I know everyone’s real name, birthday, and what is going on in their life. We play GW2 on line and chat about what is going on in each other lives.
One thing we liked to do in GW 1 was enter the guild hall and have small skirmishes. We liked our guild hall then. Enter HOT.
Hot now is killing off small guilds for some master plan. Making owning and building virtually impossible.
Why not just scale the Guild Claim for the size playing?
I really wish they would told us the truth before we bought HOT. In fact Anet said. “We will not abandon small guilds,” during pre-sales.
Guild Was is supped to be fun. I wish Anet would remember that.
[snip] PVP is easier to balance but WvW nerfing would effect PvE so I hope that’s not touched.
It would just make seance to have a different formula for WvW and PVE as conditions (especially confusion) in PVE are so under-powered compared to straight zerger builds it is ridicules.
It is not bad that we can salvage them (not sure what you get form the salvage though). Any info on that?
I just want different stats like you can do with weapons and armor.
I just want to craft on my phone.
I never have time while playing but stuck in some line or waiting room would be a perfect time to craft!
